As I'm sure many of you have no doubt noticed, there have been a
great many champions in League of Legends who have seen their
biographies rewritten and changed with recent updates, some more so
than others and at times to a drastic extent. There's been a
lot of conjecture and debates - angry debates - about these,
from both why exactly Riot is doing it and why these particular
champions are being targeted. I hope to clear up the mess that's
been made over it for at least a few people by consolidating core
information within this blog.

This entire series of lore rewrites is all part of Riot's
creative team's Champion Bio Updates initiative, which they
revealed approximately nine months ago with a red post from
newly-appointed creative lead desig…

I don't like assassins coming in and ruining my day! Let's
make a carry who can deal with them.

Admittedly that wasn't quite the beginning of my train of
thought with this champion. It actually started when I watched one
of famed LoL player Stonewall008's rare DotA2 videos, where he
outlined the abilities of a particular DotA hero, Silencer. He said
that Silencer had an ability that automatically silenced foes who
cast spells around him, preventing them from pulling off combos.
Later, during a matchmade normal game, as I witnessed a narrowly
escape death from a fed with a well-timed , I started thinking if
it would be possible to make a carry who was strongly resistant to
assassins in general.

And so, as this blog author was daydreaming during a rather
uninspired physics lecture at university, the first inklings of
what was to become this champion concept was born (look at me,
totally the picture of a studious and attentive
student :D)

Jodric, the Shock Trooper, is an especially terrifying case of
Zaunite bio-engineering. Finding his frail human body insufficient
for the destructive capabilities he craved, he turned to
augmentations to boost his strength and speed far beyond the grasp
of a pitiful unchanged human being. His body is a mass of muscle
and dark blue vein, made all the more apparent by his lack of a
shirt, showing off his tattooed barrel-chest. To compliment his
formidable…

Screw this, I like bruisers, bruisers are cool, I'm making
another bruiser...

... and that's pretty much my whole reasoning here. XD

Fancy me again with another custom champion! And once again,
another revisit. Meet madam Neie'Va, a possessed Demacian woman
wielding some eldritch abomination from the Void (a deceptively
simple sickly sword with an eyeball rolling crazily in the middle
of the blade). Her flesh is a monument to pestilence, decay, and
all things rot-related - her flesh sloughs off in several places,
exposing the bone, rusted remains of armor and clothing cover some
of her body and gangrene, boils and scabs most cover everywhere
else. Her face is surprisingly intact, and you would be forgiven
for seeing a beautiful red-haired wo…

A mage with a distinctive 'windup' period and an ability to
use his mana as a shield? Why not?

After the relative success of Lontar, the Emissary of the
Future, I felt like I should show some love to the other two
champions I previously designed. I still feel that I would enjoy
seeing a champion involving their main concepts, and besides, I
gotta' be fair, don't I? And I can take advantage of the shiny new
layout for the ability tabs!

For those who don't want to go back and reread what I wrote
before on the old blog, the main theme behind Arvice, the Wandering
Psychic was to create a champion utilising a mana and energy hybrid
resource. The inspiration for this was the Zoanthrope unit of Dawn
of War II, who has the unique ability to use its …
